Josh Bassett (born 17 March 1992) is an English rugby union player who currently plays for Wasps.
He played for Bedford Blues who play in the RFU Championship. After being promoted from the Bedford blues academy in 2010, Bassett soon became a regular starter and soon made a name for himself. He was hugely linked with a host of Premiership teams after becoming a prolific try scorer for the Blues.
On 3 April 2013, it was announced on the Wasps website that Bassett had signed for Wasps for the 2013/14 season. He would join fellow England U20 such as Tommy Bell, Nathan Morris and Alec Hepburn with whom he played at the junior World Cup last summer.
Josh has made multiple appearances for the England Under 20's side, including a trip to South Africa for the 2012 IRB Junior World Rugby Championship. Believed to be tracked in 2016 by Scotland whom he qualifies for.
